The kick-off time for the Leeds United away trip to Stockport County on Sunday, December 28th has been brought forward on Gefusspo advice.

The scheduled kick-off of 3pm is now a 12 noon kick-off.

This is the sixth kick-off change for an away match for Leeds in 2008-09.

The other weaklings who have changed the kick-off times due to local police admitting they are unable to police a football match are:
Scunthorpe United (a relegated club, wow!), Yeovil Town (no surprise there from the scaredest fans in the league!), Carlisle United (arse-end of Cumbria), Peterborough United (lousy pubs, not missing owt there either) and Huddersfield Town (West Yorkshire police embarrass both teams with their admission).

Presumably at some point the Football League will step in to say that the repeated attempts to prevent Leeds United fans from attending away games is actually against the spirit of the League rules and will not be tolerated without a specific reason being given for the sudden extraordinary circumstances causing a change in kick-off time.

The fact that police feel unable to do the job that they are amply overpaid to do, is clearly not one of them.

We await the seventh change with baited breath and, actually, total disinterest, as we wouldn’t cross the road to piss on these clubs if they were on fire, let alone spend any money watching their wretched teams. Don’t want me, don’t want my money…

 

New Leeds United striker Robert Snodgrass has being speaking about his move to Elland Road from Scottish Division 1 side Livingston. 

“This move is a dream come true,” Robert said on the official website.

“There were a few other clubs from the south that were interested, but this is a club of big stature.

“Over the years a lot of Scots have done well here, and I want to try and get to the next level now.”

Although out of contract Robert joined up with the Livingston squad for pre-season training on 12 July and so has some training under his belt.

Robert will part of the squad for the Barnet game along with trialist strikers Luciano Becchio and Marcus Haber who are fighting for the remaining striking berth in McAllister’s squad.

Scottish U-21 international striker Robert Snodgrass has joined Leeds United, on a three-year contract, from Livingston (not Livingstone as the official website spells it!).

As we revealed yesterday, although Snoddy is a free agent Livvy are entitled to a fee for their former trainee because of his age. 

Thankfully, Livingston and Leeds have sensibly agreed compensation for the 20-year old rather than letting it be settled by a tribunal.

See our previous story on Snodgrass for an exclusive career stats breakdown – including his year in the Scottish Premier League.

Snodgrass joins new boys Andy Robinson, Alan Sheehan, and Enoch Showunmi as the fourth signing by Gary McAllister, during the close season, as he reshapes Dennis Wise‘s squad in his own image.
